Please join us in welcoming Aunyka to the StirrUp Purpose team! 🐴

Aunyka has been riding horses since she was 8 years old and spent many years competing before taking a break from competition to play volleyball throughout college. She continued riding and staying connected to the equestrian world through her fiancé’s family. With a love for horses, children, and the outdoors, we’re excited to have her bring her passion to StirrUp Purpose!

🌟 **Volunteer of the Month: Bill Baer!** 🌟

Bill is the heart behind the meals at our summer veterans and first responder retreats! From hot coffee bright and early to incredible dinners and mouthwatering breakfasts, Bill makes sure our retreat participants are always well-fed and happy. ☕🍳

From Thursday through Sunday, Bill sets up camp, handles all the cooking, and volunteers his entire weekend to make these retreats special.

Bill, thank you for the time, heart, and hard work you pour into StirrUp Purpose. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

Another year of retreats in the books. 🤍

What makes these weekends so special isn’t just the horses or the places we ride. It’s the camaraderie—the shared stories, the laughter, the miles together, and the friendships that grow along the way.

We’re grateful for every person who joined us this year and for the horses who make these experiences possible.

Here’s to good people, good horses, shared purpose, and finding a little more of ourselves along the way. 🐴🤍

🐴 Volunteer of the Month! 🐴
This month, we’re giving a BIG shoutout to all of the amazing barn rats who spent their summer helping out at StirrUp Purpose! 💚
These kids chose to spend their summer at the barn—working hard, learning horsemanship, helping with the horses, and jumping in wherever they were needed. We are so grateful for the time, energy, and enthusiasm they brought with them all summer long!
Thank you for being such an important part of our StirrUp Purpose family! 🐎❤️

We’re thrilled to have Avery joining us and can’t wait for you all to get to know her!

Welcome to StirrUp Purpose, Avery! 💙

There’s something special about women coming together, horses beneath them, mountains all around, and the chance to simply slow down and connect. 🤎🐴
Our August Women’s Veterans & First Responders Retreat was filled with trail rides, laughter, campfires, meaningful conversations, and time spent building connection with women who share a unique bond through service.
We’re so grateful to every woman who joined us and helped make this retreat so special. ❤️

🌟 Volunteer of the Month: Janine! 🌟
Janine brings a big smile to every lesson she volunteers in and has a wonderful way of putting anxious riders at ease. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for horses shine through in everything she does, and the riders she works with benefit tremendously from having her in their corner. ❤️
Janine has also made a huge impact as a schooler, helping build the confidence of our younger horses and preparing them to become valued members of our program.
We are incredibly grateful for the time, experience, and heart Janine brings to StirrUp Purpose. Thank you, Janine, for all that you do! 🐴💙
Congratulations, Janine, on being our Volunteer of the Month! 🎉
